Paolo is one of the nine artists participating in Sticks + Stones | Palos + Piedras exhibition at Earth Art Studio. He is primarily a painter but dabbles in sculpture and his mixed media piece entitled, Impossibilita d’Amare (Impossibility to Love) in right at home in our sculpture garden.
About the Artist:
Paolo was born in 1953 in Ravenna, Italy. Ravenna was the capital of the Western Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire and was a historical city of art and cultures, so since childhood he has been attracted to colors and art. After high school he studied art, theatre and set design. This love of art continually grows and evolves throughout life experiences, travels and intense strength to be able to peel back this veil of omerta or the wall of silence that shrouds the world. Paolo currently paints and sculpts in his studio in the desert just north of Todos Santos.

About the Art:
Our deep roots from the center of the earth are affected by the current society making the individual more fragile and selfish, and at the same time transforming him into an unthinking being. This sculpture is a hymn to the awareness of taking back the intense and positive energy from the earth we tread and that we must love and respect.
